Thanks to the loose lips of production designer Eve Stewart, we now know the new Muppets movie will feature a wedding for Miss Piggy. Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean she gets married, mind you. Maybe she flees the altar like Diane did in Italy during her wedding to Frasier (Cheers, anyone?) or maybe Miss Piggy is kidnapped, beaten and then executed by Russian Gulag prison guards, since, apparently there are

Paul F. Tompkins’ webseries, Speakeasy launched this week over on MadeMan.com. The premise is every man’s dream– or maybe it’s my dream, excluding being a man. Celebrity guests hang out with Tompkins while he feeds them fancy cocktails. The premiere kicked off with Ty Burrell of Modern Family, paired with a Monte Carlo. That’s 2 ounces rye whiskey, 3/4 ounce Benedictine, 2 dashes Peychaud’s or Angostura bitters, and a Maraschino

Leaving with five trophies, hugely popular ABC show Modern Family left last night’s 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards as the big comedy winner. But their multiple wins — including best comedy series — didn’t steal any thunder from Mike and Molly co-star Melissa McCarthy, who took home the best actress in a comedy series award.
